Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

He who sits in the heavens will laugh. LORD will have them in derision.

Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

LORD, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

But thou, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.

I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.

But know that LORD has set apart for himself him who is holy. LORD will hear when I call to him.

Many there are who say, Who will show us good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

For thou are not a God who has pleasure in wickedness. Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

Thou will destroy those who speak lies. LORD abhors the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

But let all those who take refuge in thee rejoice. Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defend them. Let those also who love thy name be joyful in thee.

For in death there is no remembrance of thee. In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

O LORD my God, in thee do I take refuge. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, (yea, I have delivered him without cause who was my adversary),

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

God is a righteous judge. Yea, a God who has indignation every day.

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens!

And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek thee.

Sing praises to LORD, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.

For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD. Behold my affliction from those who hate me, thou who lifts me up from the gates of death

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may no more be appalling.

LORD tries the righteous man, but his soul hates the wicked man and him who loves violence.

who have said, With our tongue will we prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?

LORD looked down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if there were any who understood, who sought after God.

They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon LORD?

LORD, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart,

he who does no slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor,

in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear LORD, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,

he who puts not his money out to interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

As for the sanctified who are in the earth, they are the excellent in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts for another [god]. Their drink-offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names upon my lips.

I will bless LORD, who has given me counsel. Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

Show thy marvelous loving kindness, O thou who saves by thy right hand those who take refuge from those who rise up.

from the wicked who oppress me, my deadly enemies, who encompass me around.

LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

I will call upon LORD, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.

He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

As for God, his way is perfect. The word of LORD is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

For who is God, except LORD? And who is a rock, besides our God,

the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect?

For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.

Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.

Thou have delivered me from the strivings of the people. Thou have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.

He rescues me from my enemies. Yea, thou lift me up above those who rise up against me. Thou deliver me from the violent man.

Who can discern [his] errors? Clear thou me from hidden [faults].

Thy hand will find out all thine enemies. Thy right hand will find out those who hate thee.

But thou are holy, O thou who inhabit the praises of Israel.

All those who see me laugh me to scorn. They shoot out the lip. They shake the head, [saying],

But thou are he who took me out of the womb. Thou made me trust upon my mother's breasts.

Ye who fear LORD, praise him. All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.

From thee comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

The meek shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise LORD who seek after him. Let your heart live forever.

All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who cannot keep his soul alive.

The earth is LORD's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.

Who shall ascend into the hill of LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?

He who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

This is the generation of those who seek after him, who seek thy face, [even] Jacob. Selah.

Who is the King of glory? LORD strong and mighty, LORD mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.

Yea, none who wait for thee shall be put to shame. They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.

What man is he who fears LORD? Him he shall instruct in the way that he shall choose.

The friendship of LORD is with those who fear him, and he will show them his covenant.

LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? LORD is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?

To thee, O LORD, I will call. My rock, be not thou deaf to me, lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in LORD.

I have become a reproach because of all my adversaries, yea, to my neighbors exceedingly, and a fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me outside fled from me.

My times are in thy hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

O how great is thy goodness, which thou have laid up for those who fear thee, which thou have wrought for those who take refuge in thee before the sons of men!

O love LORD, all ye his sanctified. LORD preserves the faithful, and plentifully repays him who deals proudly.

Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye who hope in LORD.

Blessed is the man to whom LORD does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

For this let everyone who is devout pray to thee in a time when thou may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach to him.

Many sorrows shall be to the wicked, but he who trusts in LORD, loving kindness shall encompass him about.

Be glad in LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous. And shout for joy, all ye who are upright in heart.

Blessed is the nation whose God is LORD, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

he who fashions the hearts of them all, who considers all their works.

Behold, the eye of LORD is upon those who fear him, upon those who hope in his loving kindness,

The agent of LORD encamps round about those who fear him, and delivers them.

O taste and see that LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

O fear LORD, ye his sanctified, for there is no want to those who fear him.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek LORD shall not want any good thing.

What man is he who desires life, and loves [many] days, that he may see good?

(The face of LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.)

LORD is near to those who are of a broken heart, and saves such as are of a contrite spirit.

Evil shall kill the wicked, and those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.

LORD redeems the soul of his servants, and none of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.

Strive thou, O LORD, with those who strive with me. Fight thou against those who fight against me.

Draw out the spear also, and stop the way against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, I am thy salvation.

Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor who seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and confounded who devise my hurt.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like thee, who delivers a poor man from him who is too strong for him, yea, a poor and needy man from him who robs him?

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as he who bewails his mother.

Let not those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me. Neither let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.

For they speak not peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

Let them be put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my hurt. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
